Pedro flicks the sensor logs to full record back to takeoff...trying to nuke us is naughty. Someone down there really didn't like us. Hopefully the recordings helps Navint get a signature on who fired the nuke as well as who or what are those ships gunning for us.
When they get to the 100D limit Pedro asks"Navs green? Jump drive green? My board looks good"
Carlos shrugs. "Rat bastards trying to cover their crimes. Something tells me the khest'n Luzon have a
lot of local support. Some despots maybe trying a power play or something. But that gas, it's an old WMD. Weapon of mass
death, and they weren't planning on using it against other military."
He checks the board, types in a command. "Jump program running. Jump solution accepted, locked in, and tracking. Engineering reports ready for jump."

Carlos grabs the mike. "All hands, jump program locked and running. Prepare for jump in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Jumping."

" He stands up from his station and stretches. "Let me go see if I can apply my expensive naval training to some good use and make something for dinner that doesn't completely taste like MRE !".
Carlos says, "I just hope Til raided the kitchen's seasonings as well as the bar. You can do a lot with the proper seasonings."

Carlos locks down the nav board and heads for the crew lounge. He looks over the dinner choices interestedly, pats Zaki gently on the shoulder and smiles at her.
